Best way to backup and restore multiple iPhones??
hi everyone,
I am a pretty computer savvy person and I have a friend with an iPhone and a contact list who is having some problems with it... he wants me to backup and restore his phone on my mac as he has no computer of his own (his son set up his iPhone with music etc before and is back at school now)
so I wonder what is the easiest way to create the backup of the contacts SMS etc?
I have my mac with the latest iTunes running os x 10.5.6
can iTunes create multiple backups of phones? should I look into a third part solution?
thanks for any insight.
You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with iTunes on the same computer. iTunes will create a separate backup for each iPhone as long as each iPhone has a different name.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. If you sync his iPhone with your iTunes content, the iTunes account logged in to with iTunes when syncing will be transferred to his iPhone - but not the password for the account. If he tries to access your iTunes account too many times with the incorrect password, your iTunes account will be placed on hold.
You can create a backup of his iPhone when the iPhone is connected to iTunes. Control-click on the name of his iPhone in the iTunes source list under devices and select Back Up.
You can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer from his iPhone's backup, but do not sync his iPhone with iTunes on your computer. This should restore the contact info from the backup. The backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, recent calls, call favorites, photos available in the iPhone's Camera Roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.
The backup does not includes iTunes content including apps, photos transferred from a computer to the iPhone, and calendar events.

Governments and ex's will/may have recourse to the legal process (or in the case of the Gov they can choose to ignore the legal system if they feel like it) when they want to see something of yours, good luck hardening your Mac against that. The best way to avoid the possibility of snooping over public networks is to avoid them but if you can't then Kappy's suggestion will help.
Strong passwords (everywhere) and don't use the same password in multiple locations.
If you really want to secure your home wireless use Mac address connection authentication, do not allow unknown Mac addresses to connect. It's much stronger than a WPA password alone. -
Best way to control and run multiple (up to 20) processes independantly in LV
Hi all,
I'm trying to build an application in LV to independantly control and run multiple (up to 20) processes, ie, it should be able to start and stop any of the processes at any given time. What would the best way to code for this? Off the top of my head would be to use a unique notifier to control each of the process, but I'm thinking that the code upkeep may be a handful with this number of notifiers being defined. Are there better ways of doing this?
Appreciate any help and insight on this.Thanks a bunch in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.I forgot some more important questions:
How large is your development group?
How much "discipline" do you want to program into the Process Commands framework? For instance, is it OK for any VI to command a process into a certain state, or should your program generate a broken wire or run-time error if a command is sent from a non-authorized source?
Where do your needs fall on this spectrum: simplicity that gets the job done and the product out the door and will probably not need much maintenance or upgrading, or flexible framework that will likely undergo multiple upgrades or fall into the hands of multiple developers?

Best way to backup and transfer everything?
I'm using Time Machine to back up my Macbook Pro. I'm going to reformat the Macbook Pro, and I may continue using it or I may want to put all of the files from it onto my current iMac. Either way, I do not want to copy over any of the applications or system files from the Macbook Pro, just the data files. What is the best way to do this?
1. Should I even bother with Time Machine OR should I just take the time to go through every folder on the Mac looking for files to copy over?
2. Are data files ever saved to application folders?
3. Is there anything in Library or other locations besides documents, downloads, music and movies I should check?
Thanks.Hi Tom,
Thanks for the help - good questions - if not too much trouble I'd like to know several ways
- for now let's say it is a Project and that I would also like to ...
1 - keep all media (maybe for a future re-edit possibility)
or
2 - Just keep the media used in the project -
The CORRECT way to backup and restore?
I've been using iTunes and Apple products for YEARS now and I still can't say confidently that i understand this process, please fill me in someone who knows (and save me a trip to the Genius Bar!).
I have my iPhone with bookmarks, which are different from the ones in Safari. So I sync it, and it adds all the extra bookmarks from Safari onto my iPhone.
But, I didn't want some of those on my iPhone. So I manually delete them from the iPhone and have it all customized.
Then I go into Safari, delete all my bookmarks, and resync my iPhone, thinking it will over write what's on the computer.
But after I sync again, it ended up deleting all my bookmarks on the iPhone to match what's in Safari.
How do I know when it's going to overwrite one or the other? When do I know which one is the master and which one is the slave, so to speak... if I make changes on both ends like I just did?
Thank you!Hi,
I think you will find the information that you need in the transaction guide for Berkeley DB. Since DB XML is implemented on top of Berkeley DB, most BDB information for it applies to DB XML.

How do I backup and restore an Iphone that is totally destroyed and not functioning in any way
My iphone fell off the back bumper of an ambulance and was run over. Probably several times. The case held it together but the screen is TOTALLY destroyed and I can't do anything on the phone. I have the replacement now but when I try to restore the old (destroyed) one, I can't back it up because I need to put my passcode in on the screen and I can't restore it to factory settings until I turn off Find My Iphone. I can pull it up on Find My Iphone and erase it but I don't know if that will cause problems for the new one. How do I backup or even just restore the device if it will turn on when connected to a computer but is otherwise non functional?
Then ask them how they expect you to reset it when it's not functional. If they still insist you have to reset it or they'll charge you... well, I always thought these cell phone "insurance" plans were a scam.

[10g] Best way to populate and update multiple workday calendars?
I would like to create multiple workday calendars, and be able to update them as needed. Each workday calendar would be for at most 5 years (right now), although it is possible that at some point in the future, I might want to extend that.
A workday calendar can apply to a single resource or a group of resources. Each individual is part of a resource group. What I'm thinking is that if an individual resource has an associated workday calendar, that calendar gets used, but if it doesn't, it uses the calendar of it's resource group, and if the group doesn't have one, the default calendar gets used. Theoretically, each resource could have its own workday calendar, and there would be probably 500 resources at most. In practice, many resources will have the same or similar workday calendars.
Each calendar will be based on one of 3 standards: all calendars days are work days, all days but weekends are workdays, or all days except weekends and holidays are workdays. (Weeks start on Sunday, and Saturday and Sunday are weekends.) The standard calendar would then be modified to create each unique calendar as needed. For example, if a resource was an employee, their calendar might be the standard of not working weekends or holidays, but could also include a one week vacation in February and a one week vacation July. I'm not sure what the best approach is for defining a calendar in the first place and then being able to update it as an employee decides on vacations (or whatever other situation might affect workdays).
Furthermore, I'd really like to be able to incorporate work hours, which could vary by day, though would likely be fairly standard. I don't know if this information belongs in the workday table, or as something separate to be combined with the workday table.
My ultimate purpose in doing all of this is to try to schedule a very large project amongst many resources.
Here is some sample data illustrating where I'm at so far:

);cal_id - refers to calendars table
cal_date - the actual calendar date
cal_year - the actual calendar year for the given calendar date
work_day - workday in that work year (resets each year, starting at 1, is 0 if that calendar date is not a work day)
work_date - if a work day, the calendar date, if not, the calendar date of the last work day (or in the first week of the calendar, the next work day)
work_week - work week of the work date (numbered starting at 1 , reset each year at the first Sunday of the year, before first Sunday will have last week of previous year, and the first year of the calendar will have all days prior to Sunday included in the first week, so the first week of a calendar could be more than 7 days)
work_year - year of the work date
work_days - shop day of the work date (except in first week of the calendar, before first shop day is 0), starts at 1 (at the beginning of the calendar), cummulative (does not reset each year)

Also, I don't know if it would make more sense to just somehow store the days each resource/group doesn't work, and generate a workday calendar on the fly as needed, rather than trying to store possibly thousands of dates in the database??Hi,
Interesting problem!
I'm not sure exactly what you want, however. Are you looking for a way to answer questions such as "For resource A001, what are the first 6 work days on or after January 4, 2010?" or "How many work days does resource A001 have between January 4 and January 12, 2010?" Post a few examples of the questions you might ask, and the results you would want, given the sample data you posted.

A workday calendar can apply to a single resource or a group of resources. Each individual is part of a resource group. Is a "resouce group" the same as a "work group"?
if a resource moves from one resource group to another, do you need to keep track of the historical information? For example, if resource A001 does not havfe its own calendar, and is part of work_group A on Juanuary 1, 2010, but then moves to work_group B on July 1, 2010, will you need to answer questions like "How many work days did A001 have in 2010", where you have to remember that the work_group A calendar apllied during the first half of the year, but the work_group B calendar was in use for the second half?
What I'm thinking is that if an individual resource has an associated workday calendar, that calendar gets used, but if it doesn't, it uses the calendar of it's resource group, and if the group doesn't have one, the default calendar gets used. Theoretically, each resource could have its own workday calendar, and there would be probably 500 resources at most. In practice, many resources will have the same or similar workday calendars.

I'm not sure what the best approach is for defining a calendar in the first place and then being able to update it as an employee decides on vacations (or whatever other situation might affect workdays).It seems like the simplest thing would be to record only the exceptions to the base calendar. That is, given that the employee normally abides by the "no weekends or holidays" schedule, just enter 5 rows for that particular employee to mark the 5 work days he'll miss in February. If the emplyoee is going to work Saturdays in June (in addition to his regular schedule), then enter one row for each Saturday in June.

It looks like all the rows have the same description. if description matters in this problem, wouldn't it be better to illustrate how it matters, by having different descrioptions that appeared in different outputs? On the other hand, if description doesn't play any role in this problem, then why include in the sample data at all?
I'm not sure if I should have a separate table to define a relationship between a resource or resource group and a calendar id (each resource or group would only be able to be assigned 1 unique calendar id, though multiple resources/groups could share the same calendar id), or if I should add an extra column to each of the above tables to assign the calendar id.
CREATE TABLE calendars

, CONSTRAINT calendars_pk PRIMARY KEY (cal_id)
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (1,'Default','This is the default calendar to use for workdays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (2,'All Days','This calendar treats all days as workdays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (3,'Weekends Off','This calendar gives weekends off, but no holidays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (4,'Holidays Off','This calendar gives weekends and holidays off');
What is is cal_id=1? How will it differ from the other three?
CREATE TABLE workdays
( cal_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL
, cal_date DATE NOT NULL
, cal_year NUMBER(4)
, work_day NUMBER(3)
, work_date DATE
, work_week NUMBER(2)
, work_year NUMBER(4)
, work_days NUMBER(5)
, cal_days NUMBER(6)
, CONSTRAINT workdays_pk PRIMARY KEY (cal_id, cal_date)
, CONSTRAINT cal_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (cal_id)
REFERENCES calendars (cal_id)
);I suspect there's a simpler way, especially if there's a regular order to day types (e.g., people who get holidays off normally get weekeneds, too).
Perhaps you could have a table like this, that had one row per day:
CREATE TABLE days
( a_date DATE PRIMARY KEY
, day_type NUMBER (1) -- 1=Weekend, 2=Holiday, 3=Other
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-01', 2) /* New Years Day */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-02', 1) /* Saturday */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-03', 1) /* Sunday */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-04', 3) /* Monday - back to work */;
...Another table (I'll call it work_sched) shows what resources work when:
CREATE TABLE work_sched
( p_key NUMEBR PRIMARY KEY -- Arbitrary Unique ID
, group_id VARCHAR2 (5) -- Exactly one of the columns group_id or ...
, resource_id VARCHAR2 (20) -- ... resource_id will always be NULL
, a_date DATE
, works_on NUMBER (1) -- works when days.day_type >= this value
, remarks VARCHAR2 (40)
);To indicate that work_group 'L' normally works on type 3 days only (that is, weekends or holidays):
INSERT INTO work_sched (group_id, a_date, works_on) VALUES ('L', NULL, 3);(Let's assume that p_key is populated by a trigger.)
The NULL in the a_date column indicates that this applies to all days, unless overridden by another row in the work_sched table. Instead of NULL, mabe some impossible date (such as Jan. 1, 1900) would be more convenient to indicate defaults.
Exceptions to this schedule would be indicated by other rows in work_sched. For example, if '12345' is the employee who's on vacation for a week in February:
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-08', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-09', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-10', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-11', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-12', 4, 'Vacation');And if that same employee works Satudays in June:
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-05', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-12', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-19', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-26', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');When finding the number of work days, we would join work_sched to days using both conditions:
ON work_sched.date = days.a_date
AND work_sched.works_on <= days.day_type
cal_id - refers to calendars table
cal_date - the actual calendar date
cal_year - the actual calendar year for the given calendar date
work_day - workday in that work year (resets each year, starting at 1, is 0 if that calendar date is not a work day)
work_date - if a work day, the calendar date, if not, the calendar date of the last work day (or in the first week of the calendar, the next work day)
work_week - work week of the work date (numbered starting at 1 , reset each year at the first Sunday of the year, before first Sunday will have last week of previous year, and the first year of the calendar will have all days prior to Sunday included in the first week, so the first week of a calendar could be more than 7 days)
work_year - year of the work date
work_days - shop day of the work date (except in first week of the calendar, before first shop day is 0), starts at 1 (at the beginning of the calendar), cummulative (does not reset each year)
cal_days - calendar day of the work date, starts at 1 (at the beginning of the calendar), cummulative (does not reset each year)This is a lot of denormalized data. that is, you should be able to easily deduce cal_year from cal_date, but sometimes it is convenient to store denormalized data.
Assuming the calendar starts on 1/1/2010 (these values are approximately correct--I just made my best guess to provide sample data):

I'm working in 10g (XE).

Also, I don't know if it would make more sense to just somehow store the days each resource/group doesn't work, and generate a workday calendar on the fly as needed, rather than trying to store possibly thousands of dates in the database??That's what I was thinking, too.
Post some sample data (if it's not what you've already posted), a couple of sample questions, and the exact answers you want from each question given that sample data. -
Using Time Machine to backup and restore multiple external hard drives
I currently use Time Machine to back up my primary HD on my MBP as well as two other external hard drives that I use to store video editing and other large files.
Unfortunately, one of the external drives (500GB LaCie) recently died. I have purchased a replacement drive (1T LaCie) and I would like to restore my most recent time machine backup of the 500GB drive to the new 1T drive.
As I am new to time machine and have never actually tried to restore anything, can someone walk me through the process? I have already noticed that when I open time machine, the finder window shows only those drives that are currently mounted. Since the drive I want to restore is dead, I obviously cannot mount it...so I 'm not exactly sure how this is supposed to work.
Thanks!This is a frustrating issue compounded by Apple’s penchant toward hopelessly poor documentation.
My problem concerns an old G4 (AGP) with an OEM Adaptec SCSI board and internal SCSI drives. That probably doesn’t matter but one of the drives (one of three) recently died. I had a back up with Time Machine to a firewire drive. But, when I put in a new SCSI drive and tried to restore - the fun began! At first I tried to select the old drive in the TM - from the “my computer” folder and copy it to the new differently named drive. That resulted in a “Preparing Copy” hang. 18 hr later I gave up! I then tried to open the TM drive directly and move the old disc (as a full folder) to the new drive - same result happened. Finally, I found this discussion. It worked for me!!! I renamed the new drive the same as the old one and starting from that newly named folder went into the Time Machine, found the latest copy and after a “select all” of all the files and folders there, accomplished a successful restore! Now, what I suspect really happened is the “select all” step. Using this this technique you have to actually go to the backed-up folder within TM and select all the files in it, then restore. Perhaps if I had done that with one of the other attempts it would have worked - who knows - I didn’t do the experiment? Thanks to Scott (a lot!) on this one. -
Best Way to Backup and Work With Huge Photo Library and Several Locations
My friend has several hundred GB of photos using ACDC on a PC. He just bought a mac mini to make many iphoto books. He works out of 3 locations and carries several external hard drives to work on his iphoto books. He is interested in working on iphoto at several locations and saving each project (photos and albums and books) without being overwhelmed in large backup files. I need help in suggesting a solution.
One suggestion is to travel with his mac mini and external hard drives and archive his iphoto libraries after each project is completed thereby keeping only his working library on his mac mini. Another suggestion is to buy a mac mini for each location and transfer his iphoto library to external drives and take only these along. Another idea is to buy a laptop to replace his mac mini and take that along with the external hard drives. In either case he would have to save and create a new iphoto library periodically to avoid overflowing his mac mini or laptop hard drive. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.Perfectly possible:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Back up to the 2TB drie:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Best way to save and restore sms massages ?
I can only think of one way ? set the phone to save sms massages to my mem card, copy all old massages over to the mem card - the flash or update the phone. And set back the setting to save to mem card. BUT - is there a way to get the sms massages out and back from the phone mem ?
I have all my messages backed up to my PC using PC suite, not sure if that's what you want?
If you want them backing up on the phone, my N95 has an application called lifeblog which has them, might be worth seeing if you can get that if you haven't already, or just do what's already been suggested.
Nokia N95 and a Nissan Skyline GTR, my two favourite gadgets -
Anyone??

I have a host server that has a C: drive and a D: drive. Right now I only have one VM running and it is located on the D: drive. I need to reformat the disk that the D: drive is on. For some reason it was created as a MBR type disk and I
need to delete it and recreate it as a GPT disk so that I can extend the D: partition beyond 2TB. So, what is the best way to backup and restore the existing VM in this case?I'm not really sure what you are referring to as an import/export but I'm going to assume its something along the lines of copying the data to 1 drive, then copying the data back to another drive. Doing a file based backup and recovery would do the same
thing. I don't particularly like doing stuff like copy and pastes to move data (especially important data) bc there is no guarantee copy and paste actually copied everything (no logging of what it actually did) and there are alot of things that can happen
during the copy (disk latency, network latency) that may cause data to be lost (delayed write failures). With any good backup program you should be able to run a report for what files it actually backed up and what files failed to backup and the reason
they failed to back up. Same applies to restores. Also I have seen issues where a simple copy and paste strips certain special attributes from the file.
If file based backup/restore is not an option, then maybe a robocopy of the data would be the best solution. I'm pretty sure using /b /copyall api should get everything as well. And you can add a /v switch to it to get some logging.
